Why is my tank still cloudy after Filter Cleaning/change?

I have had my 55 gallon tak set up for six months and do frequent water changes. Last night (10 p.m. est) I changed the chemi-pure, sponges and nitrate rocks in my Fluval filter and then turned it back on. The water got real cloudy and although it is better this morning (8 a.m.), it is still cloudy!
Is this normal?
I don't normally clean the filter (by brother-in law did it the last two times), but I did rinse the chemi-pure before I put it in the cannister. I didn't rinse the nitrate rocks though. I have a Fluval Filter that can handle up to 75 gallons and a prism plus protein skimmer on it.
Please help! Thanks!!
